      Sweet as, mate. 👌🏽
      No need to knock yourself out, pace yourself and take your time, results will be better for it.👍🏽
      Besides, it ain't going anywhere, can be a hard slog doing something like this on your own!
      Take care, man, looking forward to the next installment.😉

      Wow that's cold, never gets that low here. Just realised I didn't even know where you live, in the UK there is just London and Scotland to me. On a good day I would include Wales. Which one of those three do you live in? 🤣
      Hope you can get it there soon mate!

      @@TakamiWoodshop haha.. It's in the Greater London area, Croydon. Being an unheated garage, it's no fun to work inside that, or to do any outdoor projects either. So just watching netflix and youtube, and spending time like that 😅

      I hear you mate, even in our mild winters some days my time in the shop is only 20 minutes before I get too cold. Just looked at Croydon on the map.

    Watching from a distance, it's easy to suggest it would have been better to dig out behind the retaining wall that had been pushed out. Then plumbing up the corner post again, then back filling. Very easy to suggest that. If you need any help with it....ah...I'm busy for the next 25 years 😂😂😂

    Enjoyed the video Rob, thanks. Only a partial explanation though, so 'suck a kumara' is Kiwi for broken, but mate, what is a 'kumara' , I gotta know ... 😁

    • @TakamiWoodshop
      @TakamiWoodshop  3 года назад +1

      Ahh yeah Bob that was a bit partial, broken, failed, crashed etc. A kumara is local variety and Maori name of sweet potato 🥔. There's another word in the news at the mo. It was included in The Chase or some quiz show in the UK, with complaints from ( young) kiwis that they'd never heard of it. Q: What is kiwi slang for broken? A: pukarooed. Definitely was in common vernacular as I was growing up, but not so much now it seems. Originates from Maori word pukaru meaning 'broken'.
